Crash was noticed by pkubaj building gcc9.
Apparently non dword-aligned char pointers are somewhat rare in the wild.

Summary:
POWER architecture CPUs (Book-S) require natural alignment for
cache-inhibited storage accesses. Since we can't know the caching model
for a page ahead of time, always enforce natural alignment in memcpy.
This fixes a SIGBUS in X with acceleration enabled on POWER9.
As part of this, revert r358672, it's no longer necessary with this fix.
Regression tested by alfredo.

For copies shorter than 512 bytes, the data is copied using plain
ld/std instructions.
For 512 bytes or more, the copy is done in 3 phases:
Phase 1: copy from the src buffer until it's aligned at a 16-byte boundary
Phase 2: copy as many aligned 64-byte blocks from the src buffer as possible
Phase 3: copy the remaining data, if any
In phase 2, this code uses VSX instructions when available. Otherwise,
it uses ldx/stdx.
